What are Illinois's specific Hazmat requirements?+
Illinois requires FMCSA-approved ELDT before taking the Hazmat endorsement test at IL SOS. After passing the written test, you'll be directed to enroll in TSA fingerprinting through IDEMIA (the standard federal process). There is no behind-the-wheel test for Hazmat — only the knowledge test.
Is DLA Academy's Hazmat ELDT really FMCSA-approved?+
Yes. DLA Academy is listed on the FMCSA Training Provider Registry. Your completion is auto-submitted to the registry within 24 hours. You'll receive a certificate you can present to IL SOS when you apply for the endorsement test.
Do I need ELDT if my CDL was issued before February 7, 2022?+
If your CDL was issued before February 7, 2022, you are grandfathered out of the ELDT requirement for that original class and most endorsements. However, if you upgrade your CDL class or add a new endorsement (including Hazmat) after that date, you must complete FMCSA-approved ELDT for the new endorsement.
